Energy Saver Homes Featured

November 25, 1989

All homes in the show are Virginia Power Energy Saver homes.

This means Virginia Power guarantees insulation and equipment efficiency of the house. It also means if, within one year after the date of issuance, the home does not conform to the warranty and the builder has not responded to requests for correction, Virginia Power will install the equipment necessary to make the home conform or pay the owner $500.

In addition to the savings an owner realizes from the added insulation, the owner also has a good selling feature if he sells the home. Some lenders also allow potential borrowers to qualify for a higher mortgage if they buy an Energy Saver Home because the monthly energy payments likely will be smaller.
